The UFC is back on PPV this Saturday, even tough they just did a free card on Spike TV last Saturday. They have to make that paper just like everyone else.
This is no bologna card though. The heavyweight title will be on the line in the main event when Brock Lesnar takes on Cain Velasquez.
I have my fight picks locked in. Lets go fight by fight.
Diego Sanchez Vs. Paulo Thiago
Sanchez is coming off of two loses including an uninspired beating at the hands of John Hathaway. The only other loses on Diego’s resume are another back-to-back pair from 2007. As bad as he looked in his last fight, I think Diego matches up well with Thiago. Still, Diego’s last performance bothers me. There is no way I can pick him until I see a major turn around.
I was surprised to see that the betting lines on this one are quite even. I thought Diego might be a favorite here but apparently betters agree with my assessment.
Pick: Thiago
UFC 109 will go live this super Saturday from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. This card was again hit hard by injury much like the last UFC card. Still 109 has a good number of names that even the casual fan should know.
For a card that was thrown together on short notice, this one has some compelling match-ups. As you may recall, this was going to be the Lesnar-Carwin title fight and the Ortiz-Coleman brawl.
